As
Levy clings to a tree high above a river and tries to catch his breath,
he doesn’t know what to do next. He has been a slave for Mr. Willoughby
since he was little boy, and now things are changing. Unsure of what
year it is, Levy escapes the jaws of slavery on the cotton plantation.
He is a runaway slave without a plan.
As
soon as he sees a boat floating in the river, Levy knows what he must
do. With Mr. Willoughby on his tail, Levy boards the boat and hides
behind the big wheel. As he somehow eludes capture, he begins a journey
with a colored captain at the helm who works for none other than Levy’s
former owner. As the captain takes Levy under his wing and they travel
down the river, Levy finally learns what it’s like to be a free man with
choices and the ability to make decisions for himself. But danger lurks around every curve, and Levy soon finds that his journey to independence will not come without challenges.
In
the second installment of this historical tale, a Lincoln-freed Colored
risks everything in order to realize the sweet taste of liberty and
justice for all.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
